They don't want a confusing hard to use or understand feature, but they do want to do the thing. Apple has been successful by "Simplifying" the process of doing the thing until it becomes background to actually doing the thing.
Is it just me or does OP seem to be stretching a little bit in the last few sentences to try and segue an article about US gender diversity into another dig at the working conditions in China.
Look, I'd like for all the people in China to have nice jobs, and be treated well, breathe clean air and eat double quarter pounders whenever they want to as much as the next guy. But stop blaming Apple for this not happening. Apple strides to set restrictions on their manufacturing partners that have been steadily improving pay and working conditions at those locations, and has gone farther in this regard than most, and even farther than many of their investors would like to see done.
Blame yourselves. The reason that Apple can't push harder for workers rights in China is that beyond using it as an Apple-hateboy talking point we don't actually care. If we did, then we'd be voting with our wallets, paying to buy phones that are "Work Dormitory Free" or "8 hour shifts with nice benefits - Gluten Free", but we don't. If Apple provided a "Good Conscience" iPhone, it would likely cost $1,500 and would be a worse market flop than the Kindle -- Though maybe it's worth a try just so that they can say, "Hey, we tried to give you the option to by manufactured and made in the USA, and you bought the cheap one".
I was a local hire at TATA (TCS) doing software work at Apple... Treated me well enough, however I quickly came to realize there was little chance for advancement / promotion in that track. So I found another job, where the bias was going more in my favor. The racial preference at TCS in the US would be more "awful" if it wasn't just a small coin balancing a big stack of the opposite bias elsewhere in the industry.
It would also leave the homeowner in a somewhat laughable situation... They could either toe the line and say that the earthquake is "natural" therefore getting the insurance (hush) money, or try and convince the state that it was man-made, losing their house if victorious, and hopefully changing policy enough that more earthquakes won't happen.
Shame is, this only seems like a conundrum to the type of people who place the well being of society over their own momentary gains.
Finally! A tech savvy individual on Slashdot who understands the state of the industry and is able to express a knowledgeable opinion. Everyone else commenting on this whole "Apple Watch" thing seems to be too heavily biased by the having used an Apple product in the last 2 decades. It's refreshing to get an unbiased opinion.
TL;DR: If you need to constantly monitor your heart rate it can be useful as any heart rate "Medical" device short of EKG.
I'm getting one for my Dad. He currently has a fluttering heart valve, which makes his heart less effective, and causes his heart rate to nearly double to attain the same level of blood oxygen. His resting heart rate is between 100-130 bpm, and that's not good for longevity. While the doctors try and sort out what surgery to try next, he's been told to try and keep his heart rate low using medication. However, if it gets too low, he gets light headed, and can't go up stairs, so they are experimenting with a good value that keeps his heart rate in a specific range.
I'll be writing him an app that lets him know when to take medication to slow his heart rate.
Yes, it's not medically sound, and I wouldn't use it for someone who might sue... but it's better than the "Medical" apparatus and procedure we have been given.

This particular typo is especially fun to pun. https://twitter.com/StealthMou... -- Sneak peak.

Hi Mayor, and thank you for taking the time to hear my issue. I'd like to whistle blow to report a member of the city council his name is J

You sound like a real informed expert on the subject.
On an unrelated note, is anyone interested in buying a barely used and a slightly dusty 3D printer?

Oh.. moun collider. This article just got BOOOORRRING.
Excluding signature and block quotes:
777 Words.
17 Parenthetical statements.
399 Words excluding those inside parentheses
Almost exactly half of what was written (49%) was inside parentheses (That may be a little excessive). :)

So following your argument you could say that it's actually Objective-C? You could put a .mm on there and it would still execute.
Parent wins the internet. Time to pack up and go home.

Cut off one head and two will emerge!
Of course I gave up Apple in 1988

Actually... California produces more renewable energy than Portugal. It's just uses more too :)
Wind Power:
Portugal - 3,937 MW
California - 5,829 MW
Solar:
Portugal - Aprox 75 MW
California - 5576 MW
That's roughly 75 X the solar output of Portugal. Sounds like what we need to do in CA is to stop being so power hungry..
